Location Introduction So What next...? Objectives Staff The Board of Management |
The Board of Management The Association is governed by a group of people from the local community. They give their time voluntarily, and it is their job to make Policy and develop a workable Business Plan, make sure the Association is run properly, as a viable business, and within the boundaries of the law and regulation. Board members possess a wide range of skills and experience, which all combine to make an effective unit. There are normally two tenants of the Association, and two representatives from the Isle of Wight Council, on the Board.
There is also a Finance Committee, which meets half-yearly to review the annual audited accounts, budgets for the forthcoming year, treasury management, and staffing matters. Sub-groups are formed from time to time to consider specific topics delegated to them by the main board. All these bodies comprise members of the Board itself, and their deliberations are referred to the Board.
